"Puts City In Difficulties
S itsawY i tea at a wk ot the Mayors
campromisM motion following the
L9is-ture's passage of the new water
M6Ja1 the City Council has put Itself in
further difficultles, and it is not easy to
heese the outcome. A contributor to
Sthe "Guardian" recently described the
Council as composed largely of "crude
political saboteurs," and the phrase was
apt. An example of the type of argu-
"ment used against the unified water
scheme was furnished by the letter
Which we published last Thursday, from
two City Councillors, in which the
alleged autocracy of the Trinidad Elec-
tricity Board was cited as a ground for
rejecting current proposals for the con-
Stol of water supplies.
I Port-of-Spain were well served with
water or had good water prospects, one
might understand the City Council's
laying to the Government, "We are doing
the job efficiently and don't need your
help." But with the supply as poor as it
Is the Council can have no warrant for
efut ng to come to terms. The letter
alleged, among other things, that if the
Council Joined the Government scheme
it hands would be tied-that the public
would cry out for water, and the City
SFather would not be able to supply It.
This would be amusing if the shortage
of water was not so serious.
Further on the lettEr stated that even
SLondon and other big cities did not
have the 60 gallons of water per head
enjoyed by Port-of-Spain, and that peo-
ple from the country moved into town In
order to get a better and cheaper supply

wI the ou-district d to admit, how-
ever, that there was an acute shortage
tIn certain parts of the city, but it ex-
plained this by saying that the trouble
Swas political rather than technical. No
doubt we were expected to infer that this
little political mischance could easily be
* adjusted, though the letter-writers con-
fessed they had no proper information
Son the subject
All of this adds up to a minus quan-
tity leass than nothing. It is a type of
twaddle which will deceive no one but
Sthe extra-gullible, and which has helped
to put the City Council into its present
Shole. The public is not impressed by the
suggestion that the Council's hands will
be tied if it joins the unified scheme,
When those hands have already proved
Incompetent to abate the water shortage.
Nor Is anyone tIntereted in the millions

Empir. e Prdirs Agree

To 'Bearst. Wither FirJapanstanding on
AT one time Australima leaders showed
signs of Impatience whet other
United Nations' chieftains emphasised
that the way to win the war was to beat
Hitter first. With Japan standing on
Australia's doorstep, it was but natural
that our Antipodean friends should be
anxious about the preservation of their
country from the enemy. But now that
the Japanese tide has been turned back,
they are better able to see the global con-
flict in proper perspective. Mr. Curtin's
association with the other Empire Prime
Ministers in London in endorsing the
"Beat Hitler First" strategy, sets the seal
on the unity of the fighting Dominions
on the eve of the Allied invasion of Hit-
ler's already battered fortress.
Mr. Curtin, however, emphasises that
the Japanese must not be neglected while
Hitler is being disposed of in Europe.
Recent Allied successes In the Pacific
indicate not only growing Allied strength,
but its use to good effect in weakening
the enemy's position and preparing the
ground for the all-out phase whenever
it comes. As the Australian Prime Min-
ister points out, Allied strength in the
Pacific must be maintained at such a
level that the struggle does not deren-
erate into a stalemate.
Hitherto there has been encouraging
evidence of Allied superiority which has
been kept up more than a year, and
which continues to grow, although It
has been possible to throw only a small
part of Allied strength into the Pacific
battle. Since the Allied counter-offensive
was launched good progress has been
made in the drive towards Tokyo, but
the core of Japan's defenses has not yet
been reached. As the Allied forces draw
p*rer It is probable that they will en.
taunter stiffer resistance., which will be
more easily overcome if Hitler is quickly
conquered in Europe and the bulk of
Allied power is transferred to the East to
destroy his Pacific partner in crime.

Help For Famine Fund
IN remitting more than $50,000 to the
Servants of India Society for relief f
the Bengal famine, the India Club au
done a splendid piece of work. Many -f
the contributors may have looked upon
their aid as a means of relieving the un-
fortunate distress of their fellows at
home, but it is also a magnificent con-
tribution to the Allied war effort.
Bengal's proximity to the war zone
makes the welfare of its inhabitant- of
the greatest importance to the war effort
not only in defence but in attack. Peo-
ple dying of hunger do not care whether
their country Is conquered or not, nor
can their territory be of much use as a
base of operations against an invader.
The sponsors of the fund deserve to
be warmly congratulated, not only for
their forethought but also for an achieve-
ment which has already topped by $400
the 150.000 target set.

City Not Crippled

AU Dobt Removed --
The visual Impression m of this
tremendous material superiority of
the Alie contributed largely to
strengthen the Romans' conviction
as to who will win the war.
'he Romans suspect that the
Germans have not only abused
Route's 'open city status, but alsO
have been violating the sanctity of
the Red Cross. bey are accus-
tomed to seeing so many Oerman
trucks with Re d Cross markings
roaring through the streets of
Rome that they have come to re-
gard their cargoes as at least sus-
piclous. -
* That Is a very serious accusation
and as a citln of a neutral coun-
try I cannot give any definite
opinion as to Its Justification -
because of the lack of conclusive
evidence. But, a the other hand.,
on the bess of permsal observa-
tions, I would not dismiss the RO-
mna view too inhtly.
It is wath ntung In this Con-
nection that when the Vatican was
subjected to bombing attacks, the
Romans never suspected the Allies
of this outrage. On the contrary, i
they Immediately concluded that
it was -further proof of Madl-
Fascist machinations." I
It ais definitely said In RomeI
that at least oa" it has been es-!

When, for Instance during the

Then, suddenly, the Romans
noticed with wy sMiles that enor-

never dreamed that water could

'Pretty Decent'
When the Roman s had seen such
manifestauons of military activity,
they said tht the Allies alter a,
had been pretty decent not to
bomb the Colosseum and the other
treasured ruins that abound In the
heart of the Eternal City.
Just as I left Rome, however,
Nazi Field Marshal Kessetring Is-
sued an order that military trafIMc
would no longer be routed through
Rome, that the sojourn of Ger-
man officers and soldiers toin the
citytv was to be limited to a mini-
mum, and that other measures
were to be taken so that the Allies
would not have any further jutl-
fication for their ar attacks on
the capital.
The Romans were highly scep-
teal of this announcement, inter-
pret it as Just another Nazi
riu ke so many they had before
wieied. An authored declara-
tion was ailven to me and other
foreign correspondent skating that
"moermanv henceforth wil repect
Rome's character as an 'open catr.
Orders were given that no anU-
aircraft fire and no fighter 'planes
were to be used when Alled 'planes
flew over the city.
That same day. however. Rome's
railroad stations and outskirts
were again bombed by Alied

their objectives. They packed many
explosives into the already much
battered rallyards and hit oil re-
fineries and factories. As they
turned for home they saw great
fires burning furiously In the cen-

As Rupert Downing, B.BC. re-
porter, points out in a cable from
Allied Headquarters, Italy is prov-
ing itself of untold value to the
Allies as an aircraft base and as,
he says, its value increases with
every bomb dropped in the Bal-
kan. He remarks that no one
knows this better than the Ger-
mans thea! : with tht result
that Allied boesers last night met
considerable fighter opposition from
the Luftwaffe. But in the Balkans,
as elsewhere, the enemy fighters
did not stop the bombs from going
down in places where they would
do the most good.
Altogether, Mediterranean Air
Forces yesterday flew more than
1,500 sortIes. Twenty-nine enemy
aircraft were destroyed for the
loss of 14 of the Allies'.

To our FRIENDS and CUSTOMERS
of ARIMA, and the surrounding d.
tricts.
We regret to announce that due to the
incompletion of our BRANCH FAC.
TORY at ARIMA, we are unable to
open up as mentioned in our pruvinus
advertisement. Our OPENING Date
would be on MONDAY, 15th MAY.
1944.

Instead ot soaping the clothes
all ove. as ,uou usually do,
rub the Sunlight bar on the
dirty parts only.

This will give you enough
lather to wash the rest of the
garment without using any
more soap. In this way you
save half the soap you would
normally use. And clothes
washed with Sunlight Soap
last longer because the deli-
cate threads are not damaged
by hard rubbing. Sunlight
protects your clothes and
thus saves you money.
